Thanks for the invitation. I enjoyed the food and company of students. The speeches
could have been a bit more "controversial" or provocastive for an academic audience.

You and the other TURKSA members and volunteers did a wonderful job last night!!! It was both a fun and informative evening and you really had a nice turn out. I really enjoyed the music and the dance and the good
food.
Thanks for a very pleasant evening! I look forward to the next event in the Fall.

Thank you for inviting me to attend the Turkish National Day Reception and to share in the celebration of National Sovereignty and Children’s Day! I was impressed to see such a tremendous panel of speakers scheduled for the event, and commend you on your efforts to share this important Turkish holiday with the University at Albany community.
While I am confident that this event will be both entertaining and informative, I will, with much regret, be unable to attend. Please extend my warmest welcome and greetings to the guest speakers and participants. Once again, thank you for inviting me to attend the event, and best wishes for a terrific reception.
